Love the review. Vince is a maniac for putting butter in whiskey. Lol. People like to crap on this bottle. I love it. It’s a higher end version of Weller 12. However last years Weller 12 was amazing and I’ll have to do a blind with these two. I will say once you get your hands on a Pappy 15. Oh shit. That will change everything. It’s amazing. Cheers to you all getting a Pappy 15 this year!

Agree Vince is a maniac. Thanks for the comment. Definitely want that pappy 15!

Hey now, hot buttered rum is fantastic. Hot buttered bourbon? I'm in 100%!

DIY whiskey project. Do your own "finishing", using various woods like oak, sugar maple, apple, cherry and others. The easy source are wood chunks bought at BBQ supply stores but I have also used woods from my own trees, each gives a unique layer of flavors. Start by making small staves, about 3" long and 1/4 inch square. Treat them at 350 F for about 20 minutes, this brings out certain natural flavors. You can use them that way, or I often use a butane flame to give each a deep char. About one ounce per bottle for four weeks works out well. Mesquite is strong, use it sparingly. Pecan is very tannic, I don't use it. And a big CAUTION, don't use any poisonous woods, the internet is a good source for that information. Happy "finishing", I've been doing it for several years, each batch is one of a kind. My base bourbon is Evan Williams 100 proof BiB.

I did a blind tasting recently between Lot B, ORVW, OWA107, Weller 12, and poor mans pappy. You should do the same and see where you guys land on them all. I think you will be surprised with the results.

This bottle is weak. Not worth the money, even at msrp. Weller 12 is an even worse version of this bottle. Watered down bottles lack flavor.
